Semogue Pegasus Finest, thoughts?

I have the Semogue TSN Final Edition in both finest and Mistura. I also have the C7 Pegasus Mistura which is the same knot as the TSN Mistura. Both of the Mistura's have a bigger bloom then the TSN finest.

From left to right TSN finest, Pegasus Mistura and TSN Mistura. I would consider the finest knot a medium density and it has a nice soft scrub and I do not find it prickly in any way shape or form. Even though its a 26.5 mm knot it is about the same size as my 24mm Shavemacs or 26mm Paladin.

The TSN Finest has a moderate backbone and splays well. I find it has a bit less backbone than its Mistura brothers.
Awesome information and pictures! Thank you for sharing these!! 🤩
Maybe I didn't word myself properly, but the point I was trying to get across, that even though the 26.5 Semogue Finest knot has a larger diameter it isn't any bigger than my 24mm Shavemac D01 3 Band Badger.

@Jmp63 If you like 24mm to 26mm knots it will be right in your wheel house.

My 25mm Oumo Kirin on the left is quite a bit bigger than my 26.5 Semogue Finest.
That is surprisingly larger! Thank you for sharing as well!

Do you prefer the mistura or the finest knot more? Or like them both for different reasons?
 
My Pegasus boar knot turned green at the base from the brass ring. I'll be using a Pegasus Mistura in the near future; hopefully, my experinece is the same as Kim @Phoenixkh's. I haven't used a Pegasus Finest, but the SOC Finest was a great knot.
Sorry to hear about the boar knot! Hopefully the Mistura works out well for you! Thank you for the feedback on the SOC finest! How’s the Pegasus handle for you?

I like it. Pretty heavy, really well made. I use it for bowl lathering mostly and it works well.

You can get the same knot from Bullgoose. There's an Asylum by Semogue Half Hive that looks interesting. It even has an aluminum (?) ring instead of brass.

I do have 2 Misturas with the same knot, but I do like them both for different reasons. If/when Semogue comes out with another Limited Edition I will most likely pick it up in finest.

I think the Misturas have softer tips as a function of the boar hairs splitting and it has a little more backbone. I like the Finest because it splays a little better and has a nice soft scrub quality that is different from the misturas. I would have a hard time just picking one. I don't think you could wrong either way.
